Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing short-slot-cycle paging information from a communication device (CD) to a base station (BS) includes receiving system parameter messages from the BS, determining whether the BS is capable of short-slot-cycle paging, and indicating that the CD is also capable for short-slot-cycle paging if the BS is determined to be capable of short-slot-cycle paging. A method in a BS for providing short-slot-cycle paging includes indicating to a CD that the BS is capable of short-slot-cycle paging, receiving information from the CD, indicating that the CD is also capable for short-slot-cycle paging, and paging the CD based on the received information.
